Couple of years ago I landed in a field next to HWY 580 which is a major hwy. The landout was easily visible form the road, so I figured sooner or later someone will call 911. So I did exactly as John suggested, called 911 and explained that there was no emergency, and indeed no one showed up. However I also know of a pilot who did not call 911, waited until the police arrived, and talked them into giving him a ride back... When I landed in a field, a police cruiser stopped by a minute later. Turns out, he was just passing by and saw me. On my request, he called his dispatcher and let them know that there was no plane crash. AND I got my ride back! Bart |
